File::PlainPath - Construct portable filesystem paths in a simple way
use File::PlainPath qw(path); # Forward slash is the default directory separator my $path = path 'dir/subdir/file.txt'; # Set backslash as directory separator use File::PlainPath -separator => '\\'; my $other_path = path 'dir\\other_dir\\other_file.txt';
File::PlainPath translates filesystem paths that use a common directory separator to OS-specific paths. It allows you to replace constructs like this:
my $path = File::Spec->catfile('dir', 'subdir', 'file.txt');
with a simpler notation:
my $path = path 'dir/subdir/file.txt';
The default directory separator used in paths is the forward slash (
/), but any other character can be designated as the separator:
use File::PlainPath -separator => ':'; my $path = path 'dir:subdir:file.txt';
This is lexically scoped.
Translates the provided path to OS-specific format. If more than one path is specified, the paths are concatenated to produce the resulting path.
my $path = path 'dir/file.txt'; my $path = path 'dir', 'subdir/file.txt'; # On Unix, this produces: "dir/subdir/file.txt"
use File::PlainPath qw(to_path); my $path = to_path 'dir/file.txt';
